Just above the water line
The painting depicts a close-up of a crocodile's eye, intricately detailed with pen work to capture the reptilian features and the depth of the eye. Watercolours are used to evoke a murky and mysterious waterline background, creating a sense of anticipation and tension.
The composition emphasizes the eye just above the water's surface, symbolizing the hidden and watchful nature of the crocodile as it waits for its prey.
The saying "Just above the water line" incorporated into the painting, serves as a suspenseful and contemplative message. It implies that danger lurks just beneath the surface, and one must remain vigilant and aware. The combination of the crocodile eye and the message reinforces the idea of the suspense and the concealed presence of a predator.
The blend of detailed pen work and the murky, evocative qualities of watercolours creates a visually intriguing and conceptually suspenseful artwork. It inspires viewers to reflect on the idea of hidden danger and the need for vigilance in the natural world.
This painting would make for a visually dramatic and conceptually thought-provoking addition to any space, encouraging viewers to appreciate the mysteries and challenges of the animal kingdom.
